Hello!
I made an Alfred 3 workflow to search and switch between open windows in the system and Safari (and Chrome) tabs.
More app-by-app support are (hopefully) coming.
It is uses the companion native app, that's what makes it much faster than the other alternatives.
https://github.com/mandrigin/AlfredSwitchWindows/releases
Sierra only (at the moment).
PS: Thanks to Emanuele Munafò and his "Windows Switcher" workflow for the inspiration.

I am just a beginner, but I thought I would share this simple workflow that does not rely on scripts or variables. It is basically a workflow designed to launch Microsoft Office applications and produce a new document from a template document. I have split the workflow by application so you won't be opening a slew of applications and files at once; I believe, in the real world, you may not really want to launch a bunch of applications and files all at once.
There is not much documentation to go with this workflow; it uses tools already accessible within the "All Workflow Objects" workflow as a smorgasboard of tools readily accessible. There are no scripts and it does not rely on variables; just basic stuff.
Please send me some feedback and let me know if you like this workflow.

1. I cannot drop aif files or mp3 files into the Sound Dialog folder.?
2. I cannot drop anything whatsoever into the "Open App/Files" Action module folder after I have put Safari into them; it seems like once you put 1 item into the box, it will not accept a new item afterward.?
Ref: Help and Support > Workflows > Actions > Launch Apps and Files (from Safari) (What kinds of files is Safari supposed to be able to open anyway???) ?
(On the other hand, I am starting to see some light peek through the clouds of my frustration; I am actually starting to make some of these workflows to do what they are advertised as doing) ?

Hello! This is a pretty basic workflow that I just use for opening a new Safari window. My most used v1 extension but only just made it into a v2 workflow.

It's basically just an AppleScript

Donations
This workflow represents many hours effort of development, testing and rework. The images that have been licensed for this workflow from DepositPhotos also needed a bit of my moolah. So if you love the workflow, and get use out of it every day, if you would like to donate as a thank you to buy me more caffeine giving Diet Coke, some Cake, or to put towards a shiny new gadget you can donate to me via Paypal.
You should also consider getting into contact with Margus Kerma and donating to Margus also for the work that has bene put into the defaultbrowser binary.
Usage
db < browser >
Note - if you try to set the default browser that is already active as the default you will just get a notification.
Browsers currently supported:
Chrome
Firefox
Opera
Safari
Chromium - New in V1.1
Canary - New in V1.1
SeaMonkey - New in V1.1
Screenshots
Troubleshooting
If you are finding that you are seeing browsers listed that you have installed previously but no longer have on your system you will need to clear out all your default handlers.
Unfortunately, this is the only solution I have found to date, you should research it in depth before you use it. The following command will re-initialise all the "handlers" OSX knows about and will therefore resolve the issue, it will also likely require you to set up all your custom file associations again.
In other words... you do this at your own risk, I do not support this in any way shape or form...
The command you will need to run on the terminal is: lsregister -kill

I am looking for a Alfred Workflow to minimize several opened Safari Windows such that the front window stays open but all the other opened windows are minimized. I am using Max OS Sierra 10.12.6. I have tried the suggested ones of Command + Option + M and/or + H but these do not work.

Hi there
I run Alfred 3.5.1 (883) and I don't have the checkbox for Safari bookmarks in Default Results > Essentials (see attachment). I have deleted and reinstalled Alfred without success. What can I do? I haven't seen any other thread mentioning that problem, the checkbox seems to be there for everyone else.
Thanks
Lukas

I'm running Alfred 3.5.1 on macOS 10.12.6. The updated bookmarks search feature is great, but it doesn't search by URL. Honestly I'm not sure if the previous incarnation did either. I'm currently using a workflow I found on another thread (thanks @deanishe) that searches URLs, but it relies on Spotlight bookmark metadata that is no longer available in High Sierra.
I really like the ability to search Safari bookmarks by URL, so much so that I'm hesitating upgrading to HS. Is there any way to get this functionality back? The URL is listed when I search by bookmark title, so I assume the information is available for Alfred to index with the bookmarks. So can I request this capability be added to Alfred?
Thanks!

This workflow allows you to view, open and add Safari reading list items.
Features:
View all your reading list items (keyword: RL).
Search for specific items: Entering "rl apple iphone" will return reading list items whose page title or URL contains both "apple" and "iphone".
View (and search) only unread reading list items (keyword: RLU).
Add new items to your reading list (using keyword RLADD or hotkeys).
Open all unread items (keyword: RLALL).
Direct download
Packal page
This workflow uses the awesome Alfred Objective-C framework.
Updates:
v1.1: Option to view only unread Reading List items (default keyword: RLU).
v1.2: Option to add new items to your reading list (keyword: RLADD).
If the currently active app is a browser (Safari, Webkit, Chrome, Canary and Chromium are currently supported), you can just press Enter to add the URL of its active tab.
You can also add URL's by typing or pasting.
The workflow uses AppleScript to add new reading list items, so it requires Safari to be running.
However, if Safari wasn't running, the workflow will quit it after it's done. (If you had no open windows in Safari, you won't even notice anything).
Additionally, the workflow checks if the URL you are trying to add is valid by trying to download the <head> element of the corresponding page. So if you are disconnected from the Internet, or the page you are trying to add is unreachable, the workflow will consider the URL as invalid and won't add it.
To make it add that URL without checking it for validity, use the modifier key (⌃).
v1.3: Option to open all reading list items (keyword: RLALL).
v1.4: The open all feature has been modified to open only unread items.
(You can still open all your reading list items (including the read ones) by pressing Option.)
v1.4.1: Fixed a typo
v1.4.2: Fixed yet another typo

# SafariHistorySearch
Alfred workflow to search Safari history written in swift.
#Usage
`shs <SEARCH_TERMS>`
Separate search terms with spaces if you want to search for more than one word. ie:
`shs github safari`
Each word is searched separately. If you want to search for a phrase,
surround the phrase with double quotes, ie:
`shs "Alfred Workflow to Search Safari History"`
The results contain all search terms. This workflow searches the page url, page title and page body if available.
see https://github.com/akaralar/SafariHistorySearch/releases for latest version.
I hope you like it!

This is pretty straightforward feature request.
Since Alfred 3.5 there is an ability to search through your browser bookmarks. It's super nice, except it is only bookmarks. Wouldn't it be awesome to search through entire browser history in addition to bookmarks? This is how pretty much all modern browsers search bars are working, and there is a reason for that, it's really useful and convenient, considerably speeding up the time you need to enter URL.
Right now, I often find myself going back to enter URLs/search in Safari, shy away of using Alfred for this type of functionality, since there are more relevant suggestions when I'm using Safari.

Hi all,
Spotlight has the ability to not only search for the title of a Safari bookmark, but also the content. Is there a way to do this in Alfred3?
What I mean by this is lets say that I've titled my bookmark "A3" and the content is "https://www.alfredapp.com". I'd like to be able to search for "alfred", and get a hit for "https://www.alfredapp.com" in bookmarks, as opposed to having to remember the name of the title.
Thanks.

I’ve done some google search jobs for a simple operation
via Alfred
pop up new safari on current workspace, and make it front
(optional) if needed, open specific URL //currently this script valid for just 1 URL address.
(optional) in case of specific URL, no need of “http://”
Here is the .alfredworkflow file => dropbox link
so, here is the simple usage
to open up ‘blank’ page
"nsafari'
to open up ‘specific URL address’
"nsafari google.com"

Hello everyone! I have link https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=test&sort=popular&image_type=all&search_source=base_landing_page&language=en&page=1
The question is, how can I go to the page=2 https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=test&sort=popular&image_type=all&search_source=base_landing_page&language=en&page=2,
and page 2+1=3, https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=test&sort=popular&image_type=all&search_source=base_landing_page&language=en&page=3,
and page 3+1=4, https://www.shutterstock.com/search?searchterm=test&sort=popular&image_type=all&search_source=base_landing_page&language=en&page=4,
and page 4+1=5 ... ,
etc ...
on the same tab on Safari, with shortcut?
It will save a lot of time. Thank you for any help!

The workflow takes the url of the active safari tab, and copies it to the clipboard.
If you want it also throws the the page title in there.
If you have selected some text, it tries to recognize that and takes that instead of the page title.
It also can directly paste that whole string.
That's it. Tremendously helpful for IM conversations or as a starting point for a Tweet.
I have bound it like this
CMD Option U to copy URL
CMD Option Shift U to paste URL
CMD Option K to copy Page Title and URL
CMD Option Shift K to paste Page Title/Selected Text and URL
Originally created by Michael Matochkin, I adapted the workflow over time and now publish it here. Original credits in the readme: Based on Alfred extensions by Luca Soldaini (original applescript by Dr. Drang) and Zibity
I've used an icon from the Stylistica Icon Set
That should cover it. And of course: here is the UPDATED workflow download link (see my latest comment for more info)
Cheers!

Hi everyone
I'm a longtime Alfred PPack user, but never really taken the time I should have done to make the most of Workflows.
I use the 'Open in Chrome...' workflow when I stumble across a page with Flash in Safari, but now realise I could reload the page for iOS from the Safari> Develop menu.
Is it possible I can write a Workflow to do this?
Thanks so much
Adam

Packal: http://www.packal.org/workflow/safari-tech-preview-webkit
Github: https://github.com/joeworkman/alfred-safari-tech-preview
As a web developer, I love to use Safari Technology Preview. However, typing Safari in Alfred always drives me crazy becuase I have to choose which Safari I want to open.
I developed this simple workflow so that I can now launch Safari Technology Preview by typing webkit or wk into Alfred.
You can also pass an optional URL to the command. If you do the URL will be opened inside Safari Technology Preview. If no URL is passed, the application will simply be activated.

I created this little workflow a while back and thought somebody else might find it useful.
The workflow will grab all tabs from the frontmost Safari window, format them into a Markdown list and copy the list to the clipboard for further use.
The list is formatted like this:

The code is based on an AppleScript I found somewhere. Sadly I don't know where anymore so I cannot give proper credit.

Search, activate, reload and close your active Chrome and Safari tabs and favourite sites.
RBT allows you to do the following all from within Alfred:
Search all open tabs across Chrome and Safari and load a selected tab.
Reload a tab forcibly when you select it if you want. Add "favourite" sites to the workflow for quick access with defined keywords. Synchronise your favourites across computers.
RBT for Alfred has been forked from the Search Tabs on Safari and Chrome workflow developed by Clinton Strong (with Clinton's blessing) and could almost be considered v2 of Clinton's original workflow.
The below instructions are a clone of what is posted on the official Github repository:
UPDATE August 8, 2015 - Version 1.1 Released
Today I release v1.1 of Rapid Browser Tabs which has the following changes:
Fix - Tab icon for Safari did not display
Feature - Add "ctrl" key modifier to force reload tab on opening
Feature - Provide feedback on settings initialisation and sync
Feature - Enable favourite searching by URL
Installation
Download the .alfredworkflow file or you can get it from Packal. Run to import into Alfred
Setup
Before you can do anything with the workflow you will need to initialise the settings:
Run rbtsetup and select 'Initialise Workflow Configuration' The workflow will then copy over the default configuration files and example icons.
The workflow has been designed to enable settings synchronisation via a mechanism of your choice (such as Dropbox). It is easiest to set this up before you get too deep into configuring the workflow.
To configure synchronisation via Dropbox (as an example):
Run 'rbtsetup' and select "Set root config folder location" Update the folder name to point to a new location, my personal preference is "~/Dropbox/AlfredSync/Workflow Data/com.stuartryan.alfred.rapidbrowsertabs/" (however you can use any location as long as you set it to be the same on different computers) Ensure you have ended your path with a trailing forward slash (things will break if you don't) and then save and close the configuration file. If this is the first computer you are setting the workflow up on (i.e. that directory does not exist or is empty) run rbtsetup then select "Refresh workflow configuration" to copy the default configurations into place Repeat steps 1 to 3 for every subsequent computer you will run the workflow on (after the initial sync has completed via Dropbox).
Configure a hotkey: To make your life easier I also recommend you set up a hotkey for use with the workflow.
Open Alfred Click Workflows --> Rapid Browser Tabs Double click on the Hotkey box Enter your hotkey and ensure the action is set to "Pass through to workflow" The argument should be set to "None" Click Save
Basic Usage
The default keyword set is "rbt" here are some examples of what you can do:
rbt google - Will show all tabs you currently have open that have google in the URL or the tab description.
rbt fb - FB is set as a keyword for Facebook. This will show any current Facebook tabs already open and will also allow you to open a new Facebook tab in your default browser as well.
rbt nf - Same thing as above but will open Netflix
rbt netflix - Same as above, workflow will recognise this is a favourite site and show all tabs currently open and will also offer the option to open a new tab to the Netflix website.
ctrl key modifier - The control key when held down while selecting a tab will force the tab to reload/refresh when it is opened
For backwards compatibility with the human brain (and the fact that everyone is used to using the keyword "tabs"), an additional entry point into the workflow using the keyword "tabs" has been added. Depending on user feedback this may be removed or adopted permanently in the future.
Advanced Configuration - Adding your own favourites YAML Config File
Once you have the hang of the basic usage of the workflow, you can get down to configuring extra "Favourites".
The favourites have been designed to represent the most used sites you use, the ones that you access day in and day out so that you can get rapid access to them.
I have found after setting these up originally I have only added to the list a couple of times as it is expected the list will become relatively static after the first couple of weeks usage.
To access the sites configuration:
Run rbtsetup then select "Modify Sites Configuration"
The default configuration example has examples that you can copy and modify to add your own favourites
The two basic styles of configuration are:
First Example:
YouTube:
aliases: "-yt"
icon: youtube.png
url: "https://www.youtube.com"
Second Example:
? "YouTube Video Manager"
:
aliases: "-yta -ytvm -youtube admin"
icon: youtubeadmin.png
url: "https://www.youtube.com/my_videos"
The key difference between the two above examples are the use of the '? "Site name"' in the second example. When the site name has spaces, you should copy the second example. You can however always opt to use this format regardless of whether the site name has spaces or not if you want to go the easy route.
The aliases section can list zero or more aliases (for zero just use "", and do not delete the line). Each alias should be prefixed by a dash '-', and you can have as many keywords as you would like (but remember... less is more).
If you are having problems with the site configuration you have created, a great first point is to run it through YAML Lint which can validate if there is anything invalid in your syntax. If that comes back clean and you still have issues please log an issue.
Adding the pretty favourite images
You will notice in the above example each item references a png icon file. You can save icons that you would like to represent your favourites in the icons folder. This is accessed by typing 'rbtsetup' then selecting "Open icons storage folder". As long as the icons in this folder match what you put on your text you can use a pretty icon.
If you would rather not use an image just use 'icon.png' and this will use the default icon for the workflow.
Supported Browsers
Currently the workflow supports the following browsers. As Firefox does not expose its tabs via Applescript, it is not able to be supported. If someone is a whizz at writing Firefox plugins and would like to collaborate on a plugin to get this to work please feel free to get into contact with me.
Chrome
Safari
Chromium
Chrome Canary
Webkit
